The City of Marquette, in partnership with the Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum, invites the community to join in celebrating the arrival of the new year at Bright Beginnings, a free and festive event at the Marquette Commons on Saturday, January 4th from 6:00–7:00 PM.
This family-friendly event will feature a variety of activities designed to spark joy and community spirit:

*   Discover Oscillation, an interactive public artwork that responds to your movements with colors and sounds, on display through January 5th.
*   Warm Up with complimentary hot cocoa around cozy community fire pits.
*   Celebrate with glowing surprise guests and by sharing your hopes for the new year.

Glowsticks will be provided by the Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own glow gear to help light up the night.
The Oscillation artwork is presented by the City of Marquette Public Art Commission, with support from Travel Marquette, the Marquette Downtown Development Authority, and grant funding from the Michigan Arts & Culture Council.. The artwork was designed by The Urban Conga and tour produced by Creos. Learn more about Oscillation here: https://mqtcompass.com/blog/public-art/oscillation/
The Winter Light Festival was produced to showcase the warmth and vibrancy of Marquette during the darkest month of the year, featuring illuminated art installations, live performances, creative gatherings, and much more in its inaugural year.
Invite your family, friends, and neighbors to Bright Beginnings and help illuminate the way to a bright and joyful new year!
